Ganz Studios Launches the Amazing World Game For Kids + Giveaway

Kids love gaming. From gaming consoles to make believe games to hide and seek to internet games, kids love to play. And depending on the game, there are many benefits to letting your child indulge… within reason of course. Games teach kids motor skills, social skills, and problem solving skills. And some games even promote exercise. Games also teach kids about technology. And you know, any kid of mine is going to be a a tech pro. 🙂 One of my six year old sons is already a pro at all of the games that we have. He knows how to turn on the gaming systems, switch the TV over to Netflix, and more. My 9 year olds ask him what to do when the time comes. They call him the electronics expert. LOL!

Face it, games are here to stay. And instead of fighting your children on it, set some rules, find some educational games that make you feel good about them playing. I love this quote:

Ganz Studios has just released Amazing World. Amazing World is a great 3D virtual world for kids that allows them to play games, complete missions, chat with their friends, collect prizes, make new friends and more. It is all in a safe, controlled, and extremely colorful environment. And while there is a paid subscription option, kids can get started for free.

If you want to check it out head on over to AmazingWorld.com and setup an account. That part is quick and easy. You will need to be 18 or older to setup an account. And since Amazing World is not an online game, you need to install it on your computer. It is available for both Windows and Mac. Depending on your internet connection, the install may take a while as it checks the server and downloads updates. Once that is done you can login and play!

The first thing you do when starting the game is choose and setup your Zing. Zings are the adorable little creatures that live in Amazing World. You can name them and customize them. Your job is to take care of them, and help them navigate the world. Playing is easy. Set your kids up and let them give it a try.

You can even get your kids plush Zing toys. Each one comes with an exclusive item . You can then setup a virtual representation of your new toy in the game.
